Chapter 89 Her father is sick
Early this morning, the Lu family was unusually noisy.
Lu Songli was still asleep when she was woken up by Mo Bing. After she woke up, she looked outside the window and it was still dark. Was it only the fifth hour?
After traveling for so long, Lu Songli finally learned to judge the time of day by the color of the sky.
"What's the matter? Tell me." Lu Songli sat up, took the clothes she handed and put them on her body. She was sure something urgent had happened, otherwise Mo Bing wouldn't have woken her up at this time.
"Master is sick."
"My father is sick? Have you called a doctor?" Hearing this, Lu Songli moved to bed even faster.
"Madam has already sent someone to take the post and go to the palace to invite the imperial doctor."
Yes, her father can hire an imperial doctor, "Call them in, I want to change clothes, and I have to do it quickly!"
"yes--"
During this period, Lu Songli asked about her father's symptoms, and initially judged that it was a sign of internal Yang Qi deficiency followed by external wind and cold. The specific diagnosis could only be made by seeing someone.
About a quarter of an hour later, Lu Songli had washed up, dressed neatly, and set off for the main courtyard.
As Lu Songli walked away, she secretly cursed herself for being careless.
During this period, her father must have been under a lot of psychological pressure. Too many things happened during this period. Although she was on the sidelines to make suggestions for many things, her father was always the main force. Faced with the confrontation between the Xie and Zhao families,
Although the father and daughter had deduced the counterattack plan for their Lu family's destruction plan, he was the backbone of the family and the main executor. Facing the unknown outcome, he must have been under great pressure.
In addition, as the saying goes, being with a king is like being with a tiger. Her father has been meeting with saints and chariots too many times recently. It can be said that her father has been tense and in a state of high concentration and tension.
He is already forty and is no longer young.
Now that Xie Zhan personally said the words of truce, indicating that the fight between the Lu family and the Xie Zhao family has come to an end, the sigh in his heart relaxed, and as soon as he felt tired, didn't his body protest? Plus,
The body's defenses are evacuated, and if the wind and cold are exposed to the outside, the disease will naturally come with force.
When Lu Songli arrived at the main courtyard, she happened to meet Lu Mingzhi who was rushing over. The two siblings went in without saying anything.
The imperial doctor had not arrived at this time, but Doctor Zhou was very close. He had already arrived at Lu's house, and had already diagnosed and treated her father and prescribed medicine.
Her father was lying on the couch, covered with a thick quilt, his face flushed, his lips dry, and his forehead covered with a wet handkerchief.
She stepped forward and took his pulse, which was similar to her previous judgment.
Lu Songli covered her father with a quilt and took her mother out of the bedroom, letting her father have a good rest.
"Did Dad feel a little unwell two days ago?" Lu Songli asked. He was suffering from yang deficiency and was suffering from wind and cold symptoms. Her father's pulse was weak and he was tired and sleepy, which showed that his yang energy was already deficient.
Jiang replied, "Yes. It was just a slight cold at first, and your father didn't take it seriously after drinking the ginger soup. But in the middle of the night, your father suddenly became seriously ill. The most important thing is,
Your father's voice is hoarse and he can no longer speak."
Her father is extremely mute. This is caused by the severe cold that invades the lungs and kidneys, suffocating the upper orifice tunnels and closing the kidney qi at the lower end. "It's okay, mother, don't worry, dad will definitely be fine after seeing a doctor and taking medicine."
When Mrs. Jiang heard this, she nodded, "That's good, that's good." When she discovered this, she was frightened. The child's father thought there was something wrong with his throat, and he couldn't speak anymore. He was so frightened.
His face turned gloomy.
Lu Songli took her father's pulse, then looked at the prescription prescribed by Dr. Zhou, and judged that it was basically symptomatic. Her father had a symptom of yang deficiency caused by external factors, with both exterior and interior being cold. She should help the yang and relieve the symptoms.
parallel.
After thinking about it, she added two herbs, Atractylodes and Duhuo.
Her father kept humming and was restless in his sleep. When asked, he told them with great effort that his whole body ached. Lu Songli knew that this was the soreness of the limbs caused by dampness in the meridians. Adding Atractylodes and Duhuo two herbs can remove dampness.
Unblocking meridians and relieving pain.
She wanted her father to suffer less.
"Daughter, is this okay?" Seeing her change the recipe, Ms. Jiang was a little scared.
Probably because my daughter has always been in poor health, she used to like to read some medical books, but only intermittently. During this time, my daughter started reading medical books again and learned medical skills by herself. They also knew that the child's father even helped her get a few medical books.
This is a hard-to-find medical book. Although my daughter is very smart, she shouldn’t be able to succeed in medicine so quickly, right?
"This recipe with two herbs can be shown to Dr. Zhou."
"Okay." Jiang agreed quickly.
Dr. Zhou listened to her reasons for adding these two medicines and thought it was feasible. At the same time, he was amazed in his heart that the noble girl was smart and could learn medical skills much faster than the apprentices he led.
How did he know that Lu Songli had his own plug-in?
In the eyes of doctors like Dr. Zhou, the legitimate daughter of a fifth-rank official can already be called a noble daughter.
Doctor Zhou felt that Lu Songli, the second young lady of the Lu family, was really smart and had a talent for studying medicine. It was a pity that such a person could not become his disciple after all.
Just as Dr. Zhou left, the imperial doctor arrived.
The imperial doctor took Lu Desheng's pulse, looked at the revised prescription, nodded repeatedly, and said that this prescription was wonderful, and asked them to take the medicine according to this prescription.
So Lu Mingzhi personally escorted the imperial doctor out of the mansion. Before leaving, Jiang's confidant Nanny handed him a purse. Doctor Zhou also gave it to him just now, but it was not that big.
Manager Chen went to grab the medicine himself according to the prescription. After grabbing the medicine, he immediately fried it in the kitchen.
"If I had known, I wouldn't have stopped your father from scolding you." Ms. Jiang blamed herself.
Dr. Zhou said that her husband was depressed and emotionally depressed, and then he accidentally contracted an illness caused by wind and cold. Ms. Jiang felt that if her husband had been allowed to vent his unhappiness, he might not have gotten sick.
Lu Songli listened silently. She knew that her mother felt sorry for her father. She understood her mother's thoughts. Her husband was like this, so it was okay for the eldest son to take his turn to vent his anger.
In fact, even if her eldest brother comes back, it is just a comfort to her heart. What if her father sees the dull side of his eldest brother in dealing with things and becomes even more heartbroken? In that sentence, a family must have money and strength to contribute.
Just keep an open mind on everything. Besides, her eldest brother is helping out at her father-in-law's house, which can be regarded as an effort to stabilize the situation.
After the medicine was cooked, Mrs. Jiang helped Lu Desheng sit on the head of the bed and fed him a bowl of thick porridge with dried vegetables and minced meat.
Lu Songli went to the kitchen to cook this bowl of porridge herself. In fact, she wanted to make vegetable and lean meat porridge, but there was almost no trace of green on the table in the winter here. Unlike the greenhouse vegetables in later generations, green leafy vegetables were always available.
She could eat everything, and even out-of-season vegetables. She could only settle for the next best thing, soaking some dried vegetables in autumn in hot water, then chopping them up and adding them to the boiling rice porridge.
, and then add some minced meat marinated in wine. Don’t use any fat. Fat meat is too greasy. Her father has a bland mouth and has no appetite, so he probably won’t be able to eat it.
This bowl of porridge smelled very fragrant to Mr. Jiang, and Lu Desheng was indeed able to eat it, but he only ate a little more than half of the bowl before shaking his head to express that he didn't want to eat it.
Jiang didn't force him, put down the bowl and gave him the cooler medicine.
Lu Songli watched from the side as his father stretched out his hands with difficulty and took the medicine bowl. Her mother wanted to feed him, but he refused.
"What's the trouble? I'll feed you." Mrs. Jiang couldn't understand why she still had to carry the bowl herself when others were feeling so uncomfortable?
Lu Desheng insisted, feeling very anxious in his heart, Madam, you don't have to be so virtuous in this matter.
Lu Songli could see clearly from the side that her father wanted to be bored.
Yes, if her mother fed this Chinese medicine to her father one mouthful at a time, the feeling would be so sour and refreshing.
Her dad is really a clever little guy.
Sure enough, her father held the medicine bowl in both hands, put it to his mouth, and drank it all in one gulp.
